haha your note is so funny. this is a pretty good 'flying' shot. it's hard to capture them when they're in motion, especially hummingbirds because they are so fast. The details here are sharp. I would be tempted the crop out the flower hanging down and maybe the leaf as well?

I am always impressed this kind of action shot. These birds are so fast. Exposure, sharpness and DOF are great. At 1/250s you have good details. The pose also is beautiful.
Congratulations Walter and TFS.

Great picture of this rufous Hummingbird which I saw when I went to Denver Colorado last year! You master perfectly the exposition and the flash by having those wonderful colors! The darker bg enhances greatly the bird! I'm surprised that 1/250 is enough to catch those great details of the wings! Great pov also! Excellent job and TFS,

Hi Walter,
The high aperture gave you a good DOF, which is what you you'd expect but I'm amazed that you were able to get such a sharp shot of this hummer at as low as 1/250 shutter speed.
Well done!
